Magical Serpent's Skin

[Sleepy]

 

Can be Summoned with no Tributes as Level 3, with 1 Tribute as Level 6, with 2 Tributes as Level 9, or with 3 Tributes. When Tribute Summoned: You can target a monster(s) in your Graveyard, up to the number of Tributes used +1, with a total Level equal to this card's; Special Summon the target(s), but if you do, only 1 monster you control can attack this turn.

This is really cool! Love the image. I think you could touch up the OCG like this (change it's base level to 9 because you would have to tribute 2 monsters regardless of its effect anyway):

 

You can Normal Summon this card without a Tribute; it is treated as Level 3. You can Normal Summon this card by only Tributing 1 monster; it is treated as Level 6. You can Normal Summon this card by Tributing 3 monsters; it is treated as Level 12. When Normal Summoned: You can target a monster(s) in your Graveyard, up to the number of Tributes used to Summon this card, with a total Level equal to this card's; Special Summon the targeted monsters. Only 1 monster can attack during the turn you Special Summoned monsters by this card's effect.

 

I don't know for sure if that's right. Someone else might have to verify both of our grammar, but I think this clears things up. Regardless, I really like the image, and I think the effect is pretty cool, especially when today's game focuses on getting large numbers of xyz fodder on the field quickly. Good card.

Thank you ^0^

Though, there are small differences in the effect.

The card only works when Tribute Summoned, so that it doesn't become Crane Crane with extra advantages.

The number of monsters you can revive are equal to the number of Tributes +1

 

Other than that, although the fix would fit, it'd make the first effect a lot more wordy. I'll wait for more comments from people (if any) to hear more thoughts. For now, it's fine enough if it can be understood well.

I'd go with what he said. May make it very wordy but is correct OG. Also makes effect much more clear.

You can Normal Summon this card without a Tribute: It is treated as Level 3. You can Normal Summon this card by only Tributing 1 monster: It is treated as Level 6. You can Normal Summon this card by Tributing 3 monsters: It is treated as Level 12. When Tribute Summoned: You can target a monster(s) in your Graveyard, up to the number of Tributes used to Summon this card +1, with a total Level equal to this card's; Special Summon the targets. Only 1 monster can attack during the turn you Special Summoned a monster(s) this way.

 

 

 

Assuming I leave it as a Level 12 (I personally really wanna do that so I'll try to modify it accordingly somehow). Plus those small details, I guess I could use it.

It's good to get another opinion.

 

I'll try it on the card and see how it works out then.

Thanks for the comment.

You can Normal Summon this card by Tributing up to 3 monsters, and if you do, this card's Level becomes 3, and increases by 3 x the number of monsters Tributed. When this card is Tribute Summoned: You can target a number of monsters(s) in your Graveyard equal to the number of Tributes used for this card's Summon, whose combined Levels are equal to this card's Level; Special Summon those target(s), and if you do, you can only attack with 1 monster this turn.

 

Thoughts: It seems like it would require a very situational deck to be much use. Maybe it could have some use in like quasar decks or something, or in decks where the Special Summons could lead to spammy synchro/xyz situations. But I think there are much better alternatives. I think the best use for this card honestly, would be to Tribute 1 monster, and to Special Summon 1 Level 6 monster in your graveyard, then Xyz, etc. It being an EARTH Reptile doesn't really help a lot of Decks right now. So I dunno what deck it would fit in.

 

On another note: A Level 3 with 2000 base ATK seems kind of weird.

 

And well, time would have to tell how useful this card could be. What types of decks do you see it being ran in?

Well, my personal mindset on this card is that it's gonna become part of my personal deck, and I wanted to make sure it's design doesn't allow for abuse. Other than that I had no specific place in mind. Just checking for overpoweredness.

 

It could have a solid use in Hyeratics, Special Summoning Tefnuit, Tributing it for this card, bringing out that Watt Dragon, and chaining serpent's effect to revive Tefnuit.

 

Other than that, it pretty much has casual uses for less focused decks. Like, it can be searched by King of Feral Imps, but it doesn't contribute to Rank 4s so it's not great there.

 

In Rank 3 decks, it can save you from Acid Golem's downside and recover it's Materials for you, be it Tour Guide, Tour Bus, Crane Crane, etc.

It also doesn't negate the effects of what it revives, so little random cards like Madolche Baaple, Card Ejector, Dandylion, can be applied before the new Xyz.

Or you could go reeeeallly crazy and bring back Burstinatrix and Avian and go Jaden..... or Synchro Summon.
